Lawsuit Filed to Protect Rights of Asylum Seekers
February 3rd, 2025
YES, seeking asylum is a perfectly LEGAL means to enter the U.S., and a lawsuit challenging the way this administration is unreasonably and unlawfully treating asylum seekers, detaining and deporting with zero regard for their legal status:
The Trump administration has characterized refugees seeking asylum as an “invasion” of the U.S., and issued Proclamation 10888:
Guaranteeing The States Protection Against Invasion January 20, 2025
It was “refugee resettlement” in January 2020, and now it’s “asylum seekers.” Saying it’s an “invasion” doesn’t make it an invasion, but that’s a great way to get folks unnecessarily riled up.
Remember all the vile fomenting when local governments were required by Trump’s Executive Order 13888, issued September 26, 2019, which required prior consent to allow refugee resettlement:
Restricting refugees was a fundamental part of Trump’s prior administration’s “immigration” policy, which was more a “prohibition of immigration.” As the deadline approached, and Goodhue County’s consideration, it got seriously ugly here, with wild falsehoods about refugees, and odd, because in this county, refugee resettlement is essentially a non-issue.
Just after Goodhue County consented to acceptance of refugees, Executive Order 13888 was tossed out.
- Goodhue County consents to continue to accept refugees January 8th, 2020
- Goodhue County mtg in news January 11th, 2020
- E.O. 13888 INJUNCTION!!! January 15th, 2020
Now what are they doing wrong? Pretty much everything, going directly count to the black letter law:
What are the Plaintiffs seeking? It’s pretty simple:
This was just filed today, and there will be a response from Defendants and a hearing in the near future.
